Pinnacle Point a small promontory immediately south of Mossel Bay, a town on the southern coast of South Africa. Excavations since the year 2000 of a series of caves at Pinnacle Point have revealed occupation by Middle Stone Age people between 170,000 and 40,000 years ago. The focus of excavations has been at Cave 13B (PP13B), where the earliest evidence for the systematic exploitation of marine resources (shellfish) and symbolic behaviour has been documented, and at Pinnacle Point Cave 5–6 (PP5–6), where the oldest evidence for the heat treatment of rock to make stone tools has been documented. The only human remains have been recovered from younger deposits at PP13B which are c. 100,000 years old.

(en) Pinnacle Point è un promontorio sulla costa meridionale del Sudafrica, che protrude nell'Oceano Indiano, noto per la ricchezza di reperti che mostrano come la zona sia stata abitata dalla nostra specie tra 165 000 e 48 000 anni fa, pertanto anche durante il lungo periodo glaciale MIS 6, durato da 195 000 a 123 000 anni fa. (it) Pinnacle Point est le nom d'un ensemble de sites préhistoriques situés à proximité de la ville de Mossel Bay, sur la côte australe de l'Afrique du Sud, dans la province du Cap-Occidental. Depuis 2000, les fouilles intensives d'une série de grottes ont confirmé l'existence de niveaux d'occupation remontant au Paléolithique moyen, sur un espace temporel allant d'environ 170 000 à 50 000 ans avant le présent (AP). Les fouilles ont livré de nombreux outillages lithiques et vestiges archéologiques appartenant au Middle Stone Age, et quelques fossiles attribués à Homo sapiens. (fr) Als Pinnacle-Point-Menschen werden die fossil nicht überlieferten Urheber von Artefakten bezeichnet, die im Herbst 2007 erstmals wissenschaftlich beschrieben wurden. Bei den Artefakten handelt es sich um mehr als 1800 Steingeräte sowie um mehr als 50 kleine Stücke von Hämatit (Rotocker), von denen einige mechanisch bearbeitet zu sein scheinen. Die Fundstücke wurden auf ein Alter von 164.000 ± 12.000 Jahren datiert und gelten als die ältesten Belege für die Verwendung von Pigmenten durch den archaischen Homo sapiens. 2012 wurde zudem die Entdeckung von rund 71.000 Jahre alten, in Feuer gehärteten spitzen Steinklingen publiziert. (de) El yacimiento arqueológico de Pinnacle Point está situado en el promontorio del mismo nombre, cerca de la ciudad sudafricana de Mossel Bay, a orillas del océano Índico. Aunque se comenzó a excavar en 2000, fue descubierto en 1999 por y en una cueva que fue denominada como «PP13». Los restos encontrados (de utensilios líticos, de hogares y de actividad humana) corresponden a humanos que habitaron la región hace entre 164 000 y 35 000 años. (es)
